Mary Caton-Rosser has a Ph. D. in Communication (University of Colorado,) Master’s degree in Education (University of Wisconsin,) and Bachelor’s of Fine Arts degree (University of Colorado,) specializing in media education and media literacy through social organizing and the use of community media/journalism. Her research interests are interdisciplinary, addressing how the cultural, political and economic issues of globalizing society affect and integrate with diverse communities of learners through and with media.
Caton-Rosser’s interest in studying and tracking community culture through community-based media has been integrated into her work as an independent journalist, artist and activist for over 25 years. This community-based work paralleled her career as a corporate media executive working in the photography, film and cable television industries, and consultant for publishers and practitioners of educational curricula development.
Working with grants, she has developed community-based, citizen media programs for youth and adults using print, broadcast and new media.
